Featured review about Jammu

Ancient city-Best of travellers
"It's popular because of Vaishno Devi and Amarnath pilgrimage and is otherwise a growing town and expanding. An
ancient city with a lot of heritage to offer, this is a must visit for the ones exploring a lesser substitute to Srinagar in
Kashmir. Snow capped peaks are close by towards north east and East from here and these mountain ranges are less
troubled by cross border Pakistani terrorism like the Kashmir valley is. In terms of amenities etc. You'd be able to find
Subway, Mc-Donalds and Cafe coffee day in city limits and the highway towards Punjab has good American styled
eateries and food joints. As for the Desi folks, the city is a cultural cousin to Punjab and all the maal masala, Desi milk
and lassi. Yeah! The whole deal of it is available. You would also find Kashmiri goods here and there is no dearth of
Kangris and Pashmina Shawls and what have you may.
Dogra Rajput palaces, temples, forts, ancient sites.. The city has a very rich history and has a unique Pahari flavour to
it. Do your research before travelling and you should be able to plan accordingly." - Singh , Delhi, 1 month ago
